SEBRING A report from the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection
confirms samples of debris taken from
Commerce Avenue at the Sebring Parkway
have tested positive for asbestos.
According to the report dated Oct. 15
from Dove Environmerital Corp. in Miami,
the samples show positive restilts for both
chrysotile and crocidolite asbestos.
More than 20 samples were taken on
Oct. 9 by Sherrill Colliver, the Department
of Environmental Protection's (DEP)
Enforcement Agent.
Four of those samples were mailed to
Dove, and each one ,showed 20 percent
chrysotile and 15 percent crocidolite
asbestos.
Asbestos is the generic name for six nat-
urally occurring minerals that have been

while his case was continued to Nov. 19. Moffitt has been charged with 76
felony counts of possession of a hoax weapon of mass destruction stemming
from an incident.in early April when Florida Hospital Heartland Division and
the Sun 'N Inke administration building were locked down for a day after
envelopes containing a white powder and notes warning of an anthrax attack
were found in area mailboxes and tucked under automobile windshield wipers
in the hospital parldog lot. The incident turned out to be prank and the powder
was determined to be corn starch.

My first vent is towards
the city of Sebring coun-
cil. The city of Sebring
does not need new signs
on all of its structures
and vehicles to celebrate
its 100 years. It's not a
cost my taxes should be
used for in these hard
economic times. I think
the council has lost sight
and good sense that in
hard times it is people,
not things that are
important,
I think saving the
$20,000 job of the
Sebring Historical
Society'sarchivistwould
be much more worthy
100 years celebrating
cause and would show
true regards for the
things of value our
people. One hundred
years from now it will be
the continued work of
the city's historical soci-
ety and historian that will
be remembered and not
the sign. The historian is
the one who does keep
the history alive and
speak about the council
of these times 100 years
from now.

about this ungodly cost

Game Notes
a Tonight is Sebring's Homecoming
game.
a The Streaks will be back at
.virtually full strength with suspensions
served, though Devin Clarke is
questionable with a balky back.
Coach Speak
Sebring's Jared Hamlin:"I'll never
say a team is easy pickings.They're a
team so the will always be a
challenge. Celebration moved the ball
pretty well against Lake Nona last
week and had it mside the 20 a few
times, but just couldn't get it in,
They've got a quick little running
back.With Homecoming week, there
are always distractions and ways to
lose focus. But we're a focused team
that is anxious to get on the field as a
whole again."

News-Sun reports
The Sebring boys of the
links joined the Lady Blue
Streaks in heading on to
regionals after a strong dis-
trict showing, tying with
Bartow on the Yellow
Jackets home course to
advance from the District 9-
2A Tournament Tuesday.
Colin Walkup lead the
way for the Streaks, firing a
78 for the third best score
among the overall field,
with Tyler Sanders and
Blake Liles each carding
81s and Sean Gardner
rounding out the Sebring

scoring rounds with an 86.
These proved just enough
to draw even with Bartow's
top four scorers with Drew
Goffey carding a 77, Cole
Mitchell an 81, Mike
Gillooley an 83 and Craig
Leckie and 85.
While the nip-and-tuck
battle assuredly added to
the drama, the fact that the
top three teams from dis-
trict advance perhaps took
orite of the pressure off
with each team a relatively
safe nine strokes ahead of
Lake Region in third and 10
ahead of Lakeland and

Karley Freeland and the lady Blue Streaks overcame Sierra
Weaver and the Green Dragons, three games to one, but as
evidence of how close the match-up was, the final aggregate
score for the four games was Sebring 92, lake Placid 91.

Condnued from 1B
home crowd fity and getting
the visiting fans on their feet,
before the Streaks finally
closed out the 25-23 win.
The second game played
out much the same, with
Sebring jumping up early and
Lake Placid charging right
back.
An 8-3 Streak lead became
a 13-13 tie before Sebring
started to stretch it out again.
Soon it was 20-16, but two
straight from the Dragons
started camping things up
agam.
But a Brittany Whittington
kill then turned the tide and

"I really wanted to take
that in three, especially after
we got the first two," head
coach Venessa Sinness said.
"But the girls had a little lull
in the third game. Which you
can't do against a team like
this."
It didn't start that way,
with an early 7-3 Sebring
lead, but another Lake Placid
comeback was looming as a
Sierra Weaver kill caught the
Dragons up at 11-11, and this
time, they never trailed
agam.
A back and forth kept it
knotted until 14-14, blit
Sebring would only score
three more times with the
Dragons cruising from there
m as lopsided a win as one is
ikely to see in this rivalry,
25-17.
"At least we outscored
them by more in our win, but
I guess they don't total them
up like that," Lake Placid
head coach Marilyn Jones
joked. "It would have been
nice to take them to five
games."
Which almost happened, as
in the fourth game, it was the
Lady Dragons who got off to
the early lead for a change,
ridi the momentum of the
third- ame win.
"I let it oa little in the
third game," Sinness said.
"But when they still weren't
coming out of it.in the fourth
game, that's when I really
had to get on them."
The Streaks responded,
pushing back to take a 10-7
lead on an Abigail Bone kill,
but now, the battle had been
joined and the Dragons
weren't going to go easy.
They tied it at 11, then at
13 before scoring three
straight to go up 16-13.
A Whittington tip got it
back to 16-15, but Lake
Placid answered with four of
the next six for a 20-17 lead.
Now it was Sebring's turn
to pull the late comeback,
with Whittington tipping in
another score and Brit
Augustin serving up and an
ace and scoring on a tip of
her own.
Seven straight were scored
and the three-point deficit
\vas now a 24-20 lead.
Two in a row were the
Dragons answer, but a

resounding kill by Bone was
the final answer, putting an
exclamation point on the 25-
22 win.
Lake Placid finished up
their regular season with a
Senior Night home date
against Hardee Thursday,
before getting ready to go for
their fifth straight district
title in the District 9-3A
Tournament.
That tournament starts
Monday, but with the top
seed, the Dragons won't play
until Wednesday, when they
will face the winner of the
Avon Park, Frostproof match.

The Blue Streaks now go
about the process of prepar-
ing for the District 5-5A
Tournament in Haines City
Monday, facing Lake Wales.
"This was a great way to
finish, a great match with
this sort of atmosphere,"
Sinness said.
Her sentiment was joined
by Bone, who also conveyed
what are some of her coach's
forewarning,
"This really gives us a lot
of confidence," she said.
"But we know we can't go in
overconfident."

stage with such musical
legends as Odetta, Arlo
Guthrie, Ola Belle Reed,
Pete Seeger, and Peter,

Before returning to heav-
en, Jesus told his disciples
to go and teach all nations
the good news of the
gospel. .Sadly, we must
admit that we are losing
our own nation. In order to
reach the lost in the regions
beyond, it-is imperative
that we reclaim those clos-
est to us. This focus must
begin with our homes. Yes,
we must still pray, strate-

* es can soTop ro ion-
but we must not overlook
our first obligation: to
teach our own children.
. In Deuteronomy 4:8,9,
God tells Moses and the
nation of Israel, "And what
nation is there so great, that
hath statutes and judgments
so righteous as all this law,
which I set before you this
day? Only take heed to thy-
self, and keep thy soul dili-
gently, lest thou forget the
things which thine eyes
have seen, and lest they
depart from thy heart all
the days of thy life: but
teach them thy sons, and
thy sons' sons;" In this pas-
sage, God reminds his cho-
sen people of the impor-
tance to teach the
Commandments to their
children. God had delivered
this nation out of Egypt
with many signs and won-

unless those who were eye-

forget what God had done,
they would soon worship
false idols. Not only did
God want the people to
know what He had done,
but he wanted'theni to
know who He was. In verse
24, it says, "The Lord thy
God is a consuming fire,
even a jealous God." In
verse 31, it reads, "The
Lord thy God is a merciful
God." Life woidd be good
so long as they obeyed
God's commands; but there
.would be a curse should
they disobey. *
There are some things we
must teach our children,
lest they forget God and go
astray. First, we must teach
them theology: this is who
God is. Secondly, they must

Unfortunately, many par-

God's Word has little rele-

the consequences as a

greatest treasure we parents
may pass on to our children
is the Bible and an under-
